yes, it was the beginning of the second set. as I mentioned before i think he felt he had to increase his power on his serve, this could have been the problem./ he will recover and bounce back, Also have talks with his team which is so important. again it is the mental side of things. he has the game. but have the confidence.

PS Thanks to everyone who posted their best wishes recently when I mentioned I was about to experience parenthood for the first time, I'm happy to report that my wife Karen and I now have an amazing wee baby boy, Paul Andrew Sturgeon who weighed in at a nice 6 lbs 8oz. Both baby and his heroic mum are now out of hospital and at home, I look forward to introducing Paul to the delights of following and cheering on Andy in the next few years!

Congratulations from me as well. What a wee smasher Paul Andrew is. Glad that both he and his mother are doing well and hope the father is making a good recovery!! Bless you all.

Many congrats to you and your wife on the birth of Paul Andrew - may he enjoy tennis more than my own Paul Andrew! And a Taurean to boot - such a good star sign (and so obviously a biased opinion )

Hehe..that's spooky sharing the same names and star sign like that! Thanks everyone for your kind words, it's a joyous time for us, he really is an amazing wee boy. Without getting too 'deep' about it, it's something we had been told probably would never happen for us which makes it extra special. Hopefully wee Paul will be a mascot for numerous Andy successes and that 2012 will be the year that all our dreams come true. I'd like to be able to say to him one day that he was born in the year that Britain produced it's first slam winner in seventy-odd years!

Haven't been on MW for a while. Saw a lot of questions about the reason of pulling out. Bit worried about it! What kind of injury is it? An old one? When started? During or before the Raonic match? The tweets from Andy are about Lego (?!) and football or so, so that doesn''t help....

My grandma was told she'd never have any more than the one (my mother). I'm happy to report that my mum has 2 brothers and 3 sisters

It is all about the summer for Andy, no chances will be taken. He will say all the right things and do his best at Rome and RG, but we all know the only thing on his mind is those two trips to Wimbledon. Nadal shows no signs of being able to reach the level of last year and you feel a massive dip in points is looming. Fed and Nole can both be beaten by Andy on grass, I have no doubts about that. Very excited about the summer, just want him to come through the clay in one piece, the rest will take care of itself.

He did well in Rome last year, it is a favourite venue of his, so I am expecting good things. Let's see what he and Ivan have been up to in the rest/recuperation week - aside from Lego and so on!
